[@UserDestroyer]

Finally a footage that deserves to be called "cinematic", fantastic use of movement and stabilization - lots of other directors either fall into slow-mo, or shaky real-time footage. Great coloring work, great framing, great model. Subscribed

[@yakovark]

Thank you so much for your feedback. I am glad that you notice the different aspects of the video. Details are impotant🙌

[@Slicktune]

Did you use a gimbal? If so which one?

Yes. I used Ronin RS 3@@Slicktune

[@NuCreationMusic]

Count me in

[@cristianperaltafoto]

yes please

[@MagnetiqLabs]

This is why i keep this Zeiss in my arsenal. All my lenses is G Master, but 35mm i decided to stay with this Zeiss. First of all, it doesn't have as much focus breathing as 35GM, and the main reason is it have a bit more "cinematic" look. It's a bit softer, not as sharp in a corners, and some characteristic in color and overall image that i can't describe.
PS. I checked your other videos and i see that all your videos was made with this Zeiss :-) I see that you love this lens ;-)

[@yakovark]

Yep, I totaly agree with you. That lens is cool.I also have a 55mm. (55mm 1.8 sony zeiss) it's lens very cool too. But this lens isn't used that much, but there are one or two shot in almost every project)) That lens more soft than other my lens, but I love it. It's very good for portrait shot and I use that lens without mist filtr.

[@mike.cho.]

nice work :)

[@yakovark]

Thanks man🙌

[@elitefamilyparkour]

This looks like Wroclaw?! Recently visited, beautiful city and beautiful video!

[@yakovark]

Thank you my 53rd Subscriber. I am very grateful for this.

[@garethrichardsonAct]

Love this! I was just wondering are the stills used actual photos or screen grabs of video footage? I'd like to give it a try.

[@yakovark]

Thanks dude. I used real photos that my girlfriend took.

[@wanderdutts4584]

Love this and I've watched a few others. Ive just bought a A6700 and having trouble getting smooth footage. Any tips without a gimbal? What gimbal would you recommend for light/travel setup when run and gun?

[@yakovark]

1-if possible to make movements with the help of the body,
not hands.
2-buy a case and handles for it.
3- increase the weight of the camera with additional accessories
4- use ninja walk

[@alvarohipolito3625]

Really amazing look! The color grading 👏🏼👌🏼
Did you use any light/bounce or just natural light?

[@yakovark]

Thank you🙌 Here I used natural light without a reflector. There was a building on the right that reflected the light very well.

[@MichaelBouhnikProductions]

Hi Yakiv, amazing video great composition, and the great is fire, what lut did you use?

[@yakovark]

Thank you Michael🙌 I used kodak 8323. I made short breakdown here ua-cam.com/video/gXR02UwiWLA/v-deo.html

[@WilliamHuang1124]

good talent👍

[@yakovark]

Thanks

[@josephmedina0319]

Love the colors! Do you mind sharing what picture profile settings and luts you used?

[@yakovark]

Yep I can share. It was sony s gamut3.cine and s log 3. I used standard lut in davinci resolve kodak 2383.

[@abdulsamadbutt6677]

Hello, great work!
I have a couple of questions:
1. How did you light her face @0:24 ? As the sun is behind her.
2. Can you please share your gimbal settings for those smooth movements?

[@yakovark]

Thank you for feed back.
1- for this shot I used silver reflector as light. Some times it very helpful for shooting in outdoor. 2- I honestly never paid any attention to this. I mostly used Fast and Middle mode and very rarely use Custom.

[@Josenapoleonn]

Man, this is so perfectly done! Great job. I was wondering a couple questions 1: was this hymnal or handheld 2: what are your settings in camera? I know that’s stupid dumb question to ask because you really know what you’re doing but I thought I’d ask. Beautiful work!

[@yakovark]

Thank you man! For this video I generally used the Ronin RS 3 and maybe one or two handheld shots. My camera settings depend on lighting conditions and shots but usually they are: S-Log3 S-gamut3.cine color space. ISO 400 Shutter speed 1/50 f2-4. And please feel free to ask any questions))

[@Ragucci.8]

10 bit ? @@yakovark

[@yakovark]

[@MukeshThakur]

That color grade is awesome!!. What lens did you use btw?

[@yakovark]

Thank you man. 80 % of footage I used sony zeiss 35 mm 1.4 with Black PRO mist filtr 1/8. the last 20 % I used sony zeiss 55mm 1.8 with out wist filtr

[@ruff1draft]

Would love two Sony A74's

[@yakovark]

I would love too 😂

one of the best video ive found using a7IV

[@BudayaUrangSunda]

I'm interested if you want to share the color grading process for the video.

[@yakovark]

Hopefully I'll do it later))

[@GeorgeGonzalez-im3nw]

What’s software you use to edit and for the high up shot you use a tripod, gimbal or you just were like in balcony

[@yakovark]

For editing I use Davinci Resolve, it is a powerful color grading tool and I really like it. I use a gimbal Ronin RS 3 and yes, I was on the balcony))

[@livfocused]

Love this!! Great work. What do you use to color grade? Premiere, Resolve?

[@yakovark]

Thank you for your reaction! I used Davinci Resolve I believe this is the best tool for color grading

[@nicolapiubel]

@@yakovark it would be great if you made a video showing how you perform the color grading of these fantastic clips

[@neilfpv]

WOW! Sick color grading! Now I want to buy a Sony instead of GH5

[@yakovark]

Thank man! I didn’t use GH5. But Yees, I love colours from Sony)))
